Ipad is great for portability. If you travel a lot or simply go to starbuck a lot for your free time, then ipad is a perfect companion.

For work, most likely no unless you use it as a display for catalog etc which doesn't require any typing or very little typing.

I find that ipad is the most used pc for me now by my 4 and 6 years old kid and my wife simply because its the most simple and convenient device fro games, movies and internet.

A lot of people buy ipad for games. My advise is don't buy iPad for games. I like playing games and I have Xbox360 and PS3 and PSP etc. But i can tell you that iPad games are very simple and not very fun after a while. Its good for like 30 mins and you won't play it anymore kind of thing. It s really great if you're in a subway or an airport which a short and simple game can really help kill time, but if you are looking for "real" games, you will likely be disappointed.

But short and simple games can be very good for my kids and my wife so it really depends.

Well, the best way to think of the iPad is that its cool device to have if you got extra cash to burn and already have a laptop. If you r on a tight budget, then i suggest getting a pc or laptop as you can do almost anything with it.

It also depends on whether you jailbreak your ipad. Without jailbreak, it really is a very limited device.

I thought the pdf viewer is a pleasure on the iPad. Hmmm, i wonder how good is the HTC HD2 if its is 100x better than the iPad.

That is not true. All human being are the same. It is just that ipad are too common now for the westerner and it is so cheap for them. Its like USD499 but for us its RM2000.

So you think UK is more expensive?

Say you earn Rm2000 in KL and your friend in UK doing the same job pays £2000.

You bought an iPad for Rm1500 and he got his at £450. After the purchase you only got Rm500 left while he's got £1550 left. So whose iPad is more expensive?

Its not jut the ipad only. Everything thing in malaysia is expensive because our income is measly and our currency has no spending power. A lot of people got the wrong impression that things are expensive abroad when they start to convert it to RM. What they don't understand is that their income is more than ours and their currency is much stronger than RM. Just like singapore where everything is cheaper than malaysia when you earn and spend there because they make more than us and the price of goods are always half price compare to ours. In other words for the same income, they can buy more things than us.
